everything was okay

It certainly wasn't. Not that Trump is going to make anything better of course; it's worse from here on out

Assuming this is about the same thing as the other BYD charging article I saw a couple days ago, they're using a higher voltage, which would let them charge faster without needing a thicker* cable.

(* The copper need not be thicker, but the insulation might need to be)

But if they do catch it, they're way less likely to spread it to a literal million other chickens, so there's that

Technically the gas pedal controls the change in acceleration, right?

Technically it controls the amount of air and/or fuel delivered to the engine (in a gas engine, the pedal directly controls airflow; in a diesel engine it directly controls fuel flow)

Acceleration in physics terms just means a change in velocity. Velocity is speed in a given direction

They definitely know that, given that they know that change in acceleration is called jerk

Elections are run at the state level, so they won't be that interfered with.

Not that it will matter; rigging the states with Republican state governments is more than enough

I just hope we're born in Culture space, rather than one of the less...forward thinking societies.

Also plot twist: our universe is the Culture universe, we just haven't made contact yet. I think it was shown in State of the Art

Depends how successful the experiment is (and probably on what the goal is as well).

If he'd been testing the effects of grass vs grain feed on human fat marbling, I'd imagine the sentence would have been a little more severe

You seem to be missing the point

I doubt they mean nano

There were very few attempts on Hitler's life

If ≥42 is 'very few', what do you consider to be a normal number of assassination attempts?

That's the one

They are both spelled 'ream'; the slang term comes from the tool, which is inserted into a pipe or hole and rotated to deburr or enlarge the hole

Compare "reaming someone out" to "chewing someone out" and "chewing someone a new asshole"

Conveniently, if any states were to join Canada, they would most likely do so as territories (at least initially), and so would be somewhat politically neutered.

Following the pattern of bisected, which is Latin, 4 through 6 would be quatresected, quinquesected (or cinquesected), and sexected. If you prefer to switch to Greek roots, it's tetrasected, pentasected, and heptasected; 2 with a Greek root would be disected, but that already means something else.

Comparison to quartered is uglier; 2 is obviously halved, but 3, 5, and 6 are harder. My first instinct was 'thirded', but I don't think so. 'halved' ≠ 'seconded', and I can't think of anything that would be to 'thirded' as 'halved' is to 'seconded'

Organized crime exists to make money; the way OpenAI is burning through it, they're more Disorganized Crime

Israel is America's client state. If Israel magically ceased to exist, America would recreate it, so as to maintain their military position in the region. If America magically ceased to exist, Israel would soon follow.

Though the way things are going, pretty soon they'll both be more like Belarus

Medical English is largely stripped-down Latin, I wonder how similar medical Spanish is

Yeah, their client state Israel, as well as Russia and presumably its client state, Belarus
